Koh Phi Phi is very rich in Hesperidae, I will share with you some pictures of those that I have encountered.
Must be many others on the island.
Iambrix salsala salsala is a nice species with red reflects and white dots
Halpe porus :
Suastus gremius gremius :
Oriens gola pseudolus which looks like some of our European species :
And the most "exotic" one is a Pyrginae (a subfamily of Hesperidae whose members are called "the flats" because they hold their wings in a flat position.
Tagiades japetus ravi, interesting to note that it seems to be a different ssp on Koh Phi Phi than on Phuket where the specimen have black dots (ssp atticus ?). This is a forestry species.
Hope you will like these pictures.
